    Barracuda Landed in Massachusetts — A Rare Warm-Water Visitor to the Northeast Canyons - On The Water (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Barracuda aren’t supposed to be here. But when a warm-water eddy breaks off the Gulf Stream and pushes into the Northeast Canyons, anything from wahoo to marlin to, apparently, barracuda can show up in the spread. That’s exactly what happened this past weekend aboard the Silent Witness, a 39’ Yellowfin, on a Saturday-to-Sunday run through the canyons. Silent Witness Charters runs out of Oak Bluffs Harbor on Martha’s Vineyard, and 2025 marks the operation’s fifth season putting anglers on offshor

    A 14-Year-Old Caught a Caribbean Cubera Snapper on a Nantucket Beach. Science Says It's No Accident. - On The Water (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Stone Fornes has a knack for catching fish that make headlines. In August 2024, the Nantucket angler — then 12 years old — boated a white marlin so big it shattered the IGFA junior world record.

    Drone Captures Incredible Sight: A Bluefin Tuna Demolishes a Mahi-Mahi Just Off the Jersey Shore - On The Water (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Mahi-mahi don’t belong this close to the beach in the Northeast. The colorful, fast-growing species is typically found well offshore, holding around weedlines, buoys, and structure miles from shore — which is only one part of what makes this drone clip so remarkable. New Jersey-based photographer and FAA-certified drone pilot Christor Lukasiewicz (@christorluke) was filming a mahi skipping across the surface less than a mile off the Jersey Shore when a massive bluefin tuna erupted out of nowhere

    Read excerpt

    Massachusetts commercial fishermen have hauled in their entire 683,773-pound striped bass quota for the year — and the state is pulling the plug. The Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) announced the 2026 commercial striped bass fishery closes effective 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, August 5, after projecting that fishermen would land 100% of the annual allocation by Tuesday, August 4.

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    NOAA Fisheries has closed the Gulf of Maine trophy bluefin tuna fishery effective 11:30 p.m. August 4, 2026, after landings exceeded the area’s trophy subquota.

With this closure, NOAA has now shut down every Atlantic bluefin tuna trophy area for the remainder of 2026. The agency previously closed the Southern New E
